Default This year's Hard Knocks team participant? The Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins announced today that they have agreed to appear on the HBO series that chronicles one NFL team’s training camp. The show will air weekly, beginning on Tuesday, August 7.

Honest commentary about their QB and WR situations would make this a pretty interesting watch.

It's actually kind of funny how the Jacksonville Jaguars were practically begging for it but still couldn't close the deal. It just goes to show how little relevance Jacksonville has right now.

Who do they have worth watching? Not to make fun of a guy with a disability but Brandon Marshall would have held my interest. I suppose the QB situation could be interesting as noted above. Reggie Bush? Reality, pass. Cameron Wake? Maybe.

They should have made a bigger push for Tebow, that would have sealed the deal for them and made HBO's year.

This is definitely not an "A" list selection, but the teams that HBO would have wanted were turning it down.

They had the Chiefs and Bengals featured on previous editions. Both were enjoyable. If HBO can make anything about the Chiefs even remotely interesting, this year's HK should be pretty good.

What a coup for Hard Knocks! After all, we already know that the Dolphins are going to the Super Bowl this year, at least according to Karlos Dansby, this week's Rex Ryan Foot-Fetish-in-Mouth Award:

Understood but I'm still surprised they couldn't get somebody like the Panthers to do it. At least you have Newton and Smith. Hell the Seahawks would have gotten people more jacked and pumped.

Actually my guess is that Reggie Bush does have a lot to do with the decision.

To casual fans/non-football fans he is one of the most recognizable names in the league. HBO is probably figuring the majority of people who watch the NFL every Sunday are going to watch Hard Knocks regardless of what team is on. To maximize viewers (and profits) they want to expand beyond that group.

The Tebow-followers would have been the first group to target, but the Jets turned them down. How about trying to attract the very large group of people who watch E! more than any other network? To do that they need to include a person that group is already very familiar with: Reggie Bush.

As far as Jacksonville goes, if Denver had traded Tebow to the Jaguars instead of the Jets then I'm sure Hard Knocks would have gone with Jacksonville over Miami.
